Black Lives Matter and Being a Stand for Anti-Racism

It’s only been a little over 10 days since George Floyd’s death.

Our country has exploded with understandable anger. Thankfully. We have a lot to be pissed off about. Trevor Noah's video has helped me understand this domino effect.

I’m hearing a call within me to not just know that Black Lives Matter, but to live it.

I’ll be transparent. Up until now, I’ve dismissed it. I had no idea how many black lives had been taken at the hands of white police officers. When I did hear a story or I'd watch Colin Kaepernick take a knee, I’d have a heated dinner time conversation with my family. I’d feel bad. I’d feel angry and wonder; Why is this happening? What can we do? And then I'd move on with my life.
